Chimney Heights

[Wetfeet]

good evening all. First post here but have been reading for the last 2 weeks researching how to install my 1960s Whopper Stove. A lot of useful information out there already so thank you. My question is on a 6/12 pitch how much insulated metalbestos pipe will I need above the roof line? I get the 10’ rule but get confused when I see the 3’ and 2’ part. Any help would be greatly appreciated before I cut a hole in my roof.

3' above where it exits the roof or 2' above anything within 10'

Multiply the top number of your pitch by 10 & add 24" (2').
So 6 x 10 is 60" + 24" is 84" or 7'.
That number is from the higher side where the chimney exits the roof.

That would be the chimney requirements, but NC requires all appliances being installed to be UL Listed, (ICC 2015 Mechanical Code) which your stove is not.
